    Razer Barracuda

    I have an X-Fi Platinum that I bought in early 2006. I get crackling and popping whenever artillery strikes go off in 2142. I'm pretty sick of Creative. Since I've had this card, I've had issues with crackling and popping, the driver needing to be reinstalled, the front i/o panel going out...

    Is there a driver for Core 2 Duo?

    The task manager setting was the problem. Thanks for the heads-up.

    Is there a driver for Core 2 Duo?

    Ya, guys, this was a clean install. I saw a post somewhere that said there was an app that needed to be run to 'truly' be on 2 cores. I had never heard of such a thing so I asked. If it's just a setting in Task Manager, I'll check it out. Just wondering if this person was correct.

    Is there a driver for Core 2 Duo?

    Is there a driver or anything of the like? In Task Manager I only see status grid.

    Overclocking an opteron 165

    change the ldt multi to 3 from 4. It sound like your HTT speed is too high to properly communicate with the memory controller on the chip. But I only know this from reading the DFI Overclocking Guide.

    E6300 idling at 60 - HELP!

    Ya, I can pick the mobo up by the HSF. At first, I put the cooler on when the mobo was loose. Then when I was troubleshooting it, I reapplied the ceramique so I had to put the AC7 on with the mobo mounted to the case. It is possible it is not making good contact, but I would be shocked with...

    E4300 Overclocks?

    When I run Orthos, it gets all the way to 72 on the 3rd test 15mins in. I mean, that is too hot, right? I'm selling this PC and the last thing I want is my customer coming to me saying he's getting BSODs and then come to find out the ram is fried from the heat created by the processor. Or...

    E6300 idling at 60 - HELP!

    My e4300 is having similar problems. AC7, 4 Antec tri-cool fans, runs the same temps oc'd as it does stock. 51 on one core and 47 on the other. I have 2 other C2D machines and they never run a 4 degree temp differential between cores. 2 and MAYBE 3 degrees is all I usually get. I had a...

    E4300 Overclocks?

    I have an e4300 that is running Super Hot. I cannot seem to get any better temps than 51/49 on both cores. I reapplied the ceramique, I have used many different clock settings, and I still get the same temps at stock that I do at 3.0ghz running at 1:1 on 667 memory, linked and sync'd. When I...

    Will 2 8800GTS 320's force me into a new power supply?

    Im drawing about 434 watts according to a calculator. It factored my OC at 125w. With a second card in my pciex16 slot, it said 539. It will be close.

    Will 2 8800GTS 320's force me into a new power supply?

    I looked at benchmarks and that number fluctuated from game to game. The doom 3 engine apparently got the system draw with 8800GTXs up to 488. But if that is true, I would still have plenty of headway at 600w. Also, SLi did not seem to double the required wattage. In the BF2 test, the...

    Will 2 8800GTS 320's force me into a new power supply?

    Also, other than the listed equipment, I have the usb ports from my 2 dell monitors (2007wfp and 2407wfp) and the card reader from my 2407. I have keyboard and mouse, a gamepad, and usb wifi and that's it. I figured I would be very close with 2 new cards but my logic was that since they were...

    Will 2 8800GTS 320's force me into a new power supply?

    Well, I bought them with the intent of stepping up to GTXs or if I have time, the 8900series. Either way I'm fine but I have a buyer for my 7900GTX and that thing gets more ancient as the days pass. I figured I should pull the trigger now and let him pay for one of my GTSs then step up in...

    Will 2 8800GTS 320's force me into a new power supply?

    I just bought 2 320's and I realized I may have to upgrade my psu. What do you guys think? I'm currently running a single 7900GTX.

    Is AMD a sinking ship? Far from it.

    Ya, I tried. Someone else took it off topic. He thought it would be ok to call someone scum because of what was in their signature. So if you want to blame someone, tell that guy to GTFO. Furthermore, If I had gotten worked like you got worked, I'd want the thread to be locked and deleted...
